Come dress me for drinks & dinner at Soho House

DH's work christmas event.

I have a £130 budget.

Size 8.

I already have a huge selection of shoes/bags/accessories so am thinking I want either:

a great dress or......could I get away with black skinny trousers, heels and a fabulous blouse? Dress code says "cocktail" but Soho House is a bit quirky, no?

I also rail against the "corporate wife" image and therefore would prefer something different than Coast/Monsoon.

I'd still go for your sequin jacket and skinnies.

I have the kookai blouse in the grey colour way and it does look very nice indeed Grin

Betty - have you worn your sequin mini skirt from last year much - I have a yen for one this year but haven't seen any that are quite right. Also what did you wear it with?

bettymoody · 09/11/2010 19:18

once! am wearing again this year.
they are on ebay occasionally.

Could you push the boat out a little for this?? It also comes in a lovely electric blue and I think is one of those dresses that never dates and is rather cool and quirky!!

bettymoody · 09/11/2010 19:25

god hte purple version looks rerrible

eshermummy · 09/11/2010 20:18

Tulpe - I know it's Jonny but this could look very nice under sequin jacket with skinnies imo.
Am thinking of ordering for self.

Simple silk tank

nice necklace detail although you could prob achieve a similar look with a fine silky tshirt (try Kew or Jigsaw maybe?) and a statement necklace - this . I also saw some crystal beaded statement bib style necklaces with ribbon ties at H&M the other day.

bettymoody · 09/11/2010 20:43

aha i have ordred in blue
sized down as they said = and it was wrong - its supposed to be loose.
so am waiting normal size

bettymoody · 09/11/2010 20:45

yes i saw the H and M one
i liked

eshermummy · 09/11/2010 21:22

Betty - I was going to size down too as per reviews, thanks for tip. Me too for the blue, not yet ordered but will do so tonight.
I am also going back for an H&M ribbon necklace. Would have bought already but was with DH who was doing much eye rolling.

bettymoody · 09/11/2010 23:35

Order both. I have tits that skew sizing
